Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can refried beans: hearty, savory base layer
- 1 packet taco seasoning mix: adds bold Tex-Mex spice
- 1 package cream cheese, softened: smooth, tangy richness
- 1 cup sour cream: enhances creaminess and lightens texture
- 1 jar salsa (16 ounces): provides zest and freshness
- 1 large tomato, diced: adds juicy sweetness and color
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped: gives a mild crunch
- 3 green onions, sliced: adds sharp, fresh flavor
- 2 cups shredded iceberg lettuce: offers crisp texture
- 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese: delivers sharp, cheesy flavor
- 1 small can sliced black olives: classic salty garnish
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix refried beans and taco seasoning until well combined. Spread evenly over a large serving platter or shallow dish.
- In another bowl, blend softened cream cheese and sour cream until smooth. Spread gently over the bean layer.
- Pour salsa over the cream cheese layer and spread evenly to cover.
- Add a layer of shredded lettuce over the salsa for freshness and crunch.
- Scatter diced tomatoes, chopped bell pepper, and sliced green onions evenly across the top.
- Sprinkle shredded Cheddar cheese generously over the veggies.
- Garnish with sliced black olives as the final touch. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Let the cream cheese soften to room temperature for easy mixing.
- Use a clear dish to showcase the beautiful layers.
- Sturdy tortilla chips work best to scoop up all the layers.
- You can prepare the dip up to 24 hours in advance; add lettuce, tomatoes, and olives just before serving.
- Optional: Add seasoned ground beef or turkey for a heartier version.
